ExportModule and the Export API
octoplant provides both the ExportModule and the Export API for exporting data as reports in open file formats. While the resulting output files are the same, the two methods differ in how the export is initiated and configured.
- The ExportModule uses a separate INI parameter file for each individual report. Each report must be triggered manually and is returned as a standalone file.
- The Export API is a REST-based interface that accepts a single JSON parameter file containing all required settings for multiple reports. When executed, the Export API returns a ZIP archive containing all requested reports in one package.
